🍭 Feeding management

So the goal of this set of features is to allow beekeeper to mark colony as having a treatment (sugar syrup, tymol candy etc.). This is very similar to Varroa Treatment diary.

This has separate task for Automatic sugar syrup feeder

User story - overwintering​

  • In september, as a beekeeper, I need to feed to my bee colony in hive X to prevent starvation over winter

  • I add new section - horizontal feeder

    • alternatively - a vertical feeder within an existing section

  • I pour sugar syrup. Could be 5L or more, depends on the quantity

  • I mark this colony as having a sugar syrup and as 5L

  • Later I add 2 times more 5L

  • App displays last feeding time in Apiary list view (new column needed)

  • I get a reminder Alerts if I added less than 10L of sugar syrup in september and 5 days have passed since last feeding (to remind to feed fully)

User story - starving colony​

  • In june, I as a beekeeper get a new colony
  • the colony lacks sufficient resources and needs extra feeding
  • I add tymol candy (a white sugary substance) as 1KG
  • I add this to one of the sections (I prefer to add it in roof)
  • I’m marking it down in the app
